SOFTWARE LOADING FOR USB & QUICK START GUIDE

INTRODUCTION

The Atlas Sound ASP-MG24 is a 2 input by 4 output digital loudspeaker management system and masking

generator designed for ﬁxed sound installation markets. The ASP-MG24 features the latest in available

technology utilizing a 32-bit (40-bit extended) ﬂoating point processors and high performance 24-bit Analog

Converters. Both balanced inputs are mic/line selectable along with 4 additional independent masking

generator input sources. Inputs and outputs can be routed or mixed in multiple conﬁgurations to meet even the

most complex system designs. Control parameters include I/O levels, delay, polarity, parametric EQ, crossover

selections, 31 band EQ, White/Pink Noise, Auto Ramp, routing, mixing and compressor/limiters. The

ASP-MG24 can be controlled or conﬁgured in real time with the intuitive PC GUI, accessed via the RS-232

or USB interface. Software upgrade for CPU and DSP via PC always keeps the ASP-MG24 current. Optional

masking scheduler and programmable remote control is also available.

LOADING THE SOFTWARE

There are two ﬁles on the disk that need to be loaded prior to connecting the ASP-MG24.

• ASP-MG24 v0100

• ASP USB driver (CP210x USB to UART to Controller)

FOLLOW THE STEPS BELOW.

1. Open the ASP USB driver ﬁle and follow the Silicon CP210x prompt wizard.

3. After both programs are installed you need to ﬁnd out which comport in your computer is assign to use with

the ASP-MG24 generator. Turn on the ASP-MG24, the Blue power LED should be on. Next, connect a USB

cable from the ASP-MG24 to your computer. Note: A prompt on your computer should pop up and say

“New USB Device Found”. Click on it and tell it to locate the USB driver automatically. After the computer

matches the computer to the USB driver it must ﬁnd which COM Port it was assigned to.

Note: If the ASP-MG24 is not connected to your computer, it will not indicate a COM Port.

4. Finding the assigned COM Port. Follow these steps from your Windows desk top screen. Note: Your Control

Panel window may appear "Category" view. It is easier to operate in "Classic: view. To do so, click on the tab

on the left side of the screen that says "Switch to Classic View", then follow the steps below.

• 1. Start, 2. Control Panel, 3. System, 4. Hardware, 5. Device Manager, 6. Scroll to “Ports (Com &

LPT)”. Click on the “+” sign and listed should be “CP210x USB to UART to Controller”, followed by

the assigned COM Port number. In this case it was COM6.

5. After you have located the COM port you can open the ASP-MG24 software. Go to Start, Program ﬁles, Atlas

and then ASP-MG24. Click on the .exe ﬁle which also has the Atlas Logo. I suggest at this time you create a

shortcut to your desktop. This can be done by right clicking on the .exe ﬁle and select “Create Short Cut. Then

drag it onto your desk top.

6. When the ASP-MG24 software is open it should look like the following.

7. The software will ask you if you want to connect to the device. Click yes.

8. You need to assign the device comport number that’s given in step 4. To do this click on “Setup” at the top

left, select “Port Connection”. Change the COM port number to the assigned number and click “OK”.

Note: The Yellow Data LED on the ASP-MG24 will start to blink, indicating a connection between the ASP-MG24

and the computer has been made. If the Data Light is not blinking, recheck the COM Port setting.

9. Opening a device window. Go to “Start” at the top left. Click onto “Log On”. At this time do not enter a

Password. Just click “OK”.

10. Click on “Device 1” and the following screen will appear. In the lower right corner of the Device 1 control

box is a Green box indicating the operation status. This will tell you if you are operating Off Line, Link Ok or

in process. The ASP-MG24 is also known as a "Device". Note: Multiple ASP-MG24 can be controlled via this

GUI interface. Device 1 is the default setting when using one ASP unit.

11. Continue on using the software. For more help refer to the ASP-MG24 manual.

12. Now that you went through these setup steps you will not have to again as long as you save the settings

when you close out of the ASP-MG24 program.

13. FOUR MAIN SOFTWARE CONTROL SECTIONS.

• Mic/Line Input Section – This allows you to adjust gain on any input, set the maximum input levels

via the compressor/limiter, assign Hi & Low Cut ﬁlters and 8 parametric ﬁlter settings

• Masking Generator Section – The Masking section allows you select between White & Pink noise,

assign Hi & Low Cut ﬁlters and 8 parametric ﬁlter settings and ﬁne tune the system via the 1/3

octave EQ.

• Output Section – The output section has a mix feature that allows you to route and mix any or all

inputs to an output. You can also assign parametric ﬁlters, delay, set gain and signal limits.

• File Management Section – System ﬁles can be down loaded via email or the web. Files can be

created without being connected to an ASPMG24. Once ﬁle are created they can be saved to the

ASPMG24 and save as aback up to your computer. Presets saved on the device can also be recalled

from the ﬁeld. MEQ ﬁles can also be imported directly into the device. A systems status window also

tells you if you are in sync mode or ofﬂine.

15. Masking Section – There are four independent generators that are on random clock associators. Each

generator input can be can have gain, Hi & Low cut ﬁlters, parametric and 1/3rd octave EQ points assigned.

There is a power ramp up time delay that also can be set for bypassed. An optional advanced scheduler is also
